Good to see a whole genre of scam artists and their books being displaced.

Donald wins.

Donald silently gets 10% of any deal money.

Some books deserve to be banned.

I would put Kevin MacDonald's antisemitic trilogy The Culture of Critique, the Turner Diaries ( which calls for mass extermination of non-white groups in the USA ) and Mein Kampf in the realm of books that should be shunned.

Beggars cant be choosers.

She would rather have done corporate law but did not have the academic credentials or the networks needed for a job at the likes of Latham Watkins or White and Case.

Still it is good for society that criminals get the worst lawyers to defend them.

"EPUB is an amazing open standard for ebooks, and yet so many implementations of it are just fundamentally flawed, all in the name of keeping IP lawyers happy."

Easy to be dismissive, but IP violations can cost a large company hundreds of millions.

IP lawyers are more important to many companies than their software developers.

If you doubt that, check to see who gets paid more...

A lawyer I know who specialises in rape, and is excellent at getting the obviously guilty exonerated, lost a case last year because of GoPro videos.

Her client was recording while committing the abhorrent crime. The criminal would otherwise have got off.

From my perspective, the GoPro camera produced a good outcome. Still, one has wonder why anyone to record their criminal actions.

Words of wisdom. PG is always worth Reading.

The haters do not seem to be actually reading and comprehending PG's article.

I have news for you.

The article is not written for those of you who are comprehension challenged...

This is why for the census my forms said that I was a poor widow from Kazakhstan with 9 chidren , no education and an adherent of the Mandean faith.

Never ever provide true information in any form.

Rust was an own goal foot gun.

Interesting language with a passionate community / cult, but the value to Mozilla was vanishingly close to zero.

Despite the protests, he admits using AI and then charging his clients full price...

"But maybe I will ask Claude’s opinion, and if one of the suggestions is smart—cutting a paragraph, for instance, or clarifying a sentence—I might accept it.

When I started translating 15 years ago, we used to paste uncooperative sentences into Google Translate to see if it had interesting ways to phrase things differently. Then came DeepL—same idea."

Time to switch to open weight Chinese models.

Any company that uses Magaland LLMs should be aware of the very real Trump related risk.

What happens if the LLM your firm runs on is disabled tomorrow, because Trump wakes up feeling slightly annoyed...

Gemini did a pretty good job of translating this to English .

Sure a professional human translator would have done a more nuanced job if I was willing to invest the money and time . But ...
